Don’t be afraid. There is no more to fear. Do not fear rejection. If you fear rejection by another you do not love the other, though you may profess it. You are only being anxious for his love of you. The free man does not seek the love of others, nor fear that his love will be rejected, for rejection – as is known from the night Christ was betrayed – does not destroy love, and it does not destroy the one who loves. Don’t be afraid, you are not alone.
